Strongly agreeing with Jonathan Gonzalez's blog, the NSA is pushing its limits too far and will end up hurting the US. Not only invading our privacy, but our allies? For reals? All we are setting up for is disaster and controversy within our own government. America is such a bully and a freak control that they feel the need to know everything that is going on. Although having a heads up when it comes to a crashing plane or exploding buildings does save life's, I don't think it is an excuse to infiltrate our allies and our peoples privacy. This could make our allies drift away and want to turn against us.

Marijuana and Alcohol

          

  Why is the government still thinking about legalization of Marijuana? That issue should have been resolved long time ago. I can assume that most of us including me are for legalizing the herb now that 58% are pro marijuana. Drinking while intoxicated could and has been lethal and so many people have died because of drunk drivers and consumption of alcohol. Some studies have shown that in a driving test, a driver under the influence of marijuana overestimate their impairment and show greater distance between cars versus drunk driver who have the most difficulty passing simple tests.

The government has to put it all in a balance and make the decision knowing that alcohol is worse than marijuana. According to both researchers; D. Mark Anderson of Montana State University and Daniel Rees of the University of Colorado at Denver from Journal of Policy Analysis and Management report there has been a decrees in teenage drinking from ages ranging in the 18- to 20-years and a 5% decrease in alcohol sales.

the “green light” to legalizing marijuana could and would make the streets safer. Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) and other organizations against drunk driving would have part of a solution to the problem. Also, when have you heard of someone having an overdose on marijuana? Or that someone feels the need to kill someone, rob a bank or kidnap someone because they were under the influence of marijuana? Government has to get on with the program and legalize it. If they would just tax it like everything else, even drug trafficking over the borders cold decrees.
